Re: [PATCH v1] android_ab: don't ignore ab_control_store return code

Hi Alexey,

Thank you for your patch.

I'm looping in the Android AB reviewers and maintainers (Sam and Igor).

They were not automatically add due to a stale MAINTAINERS entry[1]

There is no point in logging here, because ab_control_store() already
logs:

	ret = blk_dwrite(dev_desc, part_info->start + abc_offset, abc_blocks,
			 abc);
	if (IS_ERR_VALUE(ret)) {
		log_err("ANDROID: Could not write back the misc partition\n");
		return -EIO;
	}
